In the Workshop

Dave & Peter discussing Horden's side rod brasses

Dave setting a bearing up to be skimmed

Alan checking a spring weight transfer beam .....

..... & Jack & Barry fitting it to Horden

Barry pinning a retaining collar

Jack refitting the central swing pin on the other beam
(These 2 beams connect pairs of front springs, so that Horden's 6 wheels have 4 independent
suspension points, for better weight distribution on poor track, and less wheel slip)

Brian boring a transverse beam for Horden, prior to building up with weld
(These beams cantilever the spring seat a few inches from the axlebox centre.)

John & Eric filling boxes between recently replace timbers - note the flying ballast behind John
